    Morality

    My 200tdi-engined 3-dr tax-exempt Range Rover is still a 3-dr tax-exempt Range Rover. It has a V8 badge on its a**e. My Golfs have all been de-badged. One of my 109"'s has 90 doors.AFAIC (As Far As I'm Concerned), they're still what the log book says. As far as changing a door handle and...

    Poor Brakes

    Servo isn't an MOT fail. Brake efficiency is. If servo is new, then pipes failed. (unless pedal misaligned etc) Inlet sucks. Servo works. (unless servo stuffed, but new servo so unlikely) Therefore pipes failed.Replace.

    Leaks....

    Siliconesealant( onmating surfaces) - buy from local buildr's merchants for about £1.50 (plus 47p for 'gun').
